Hm...Can't say I understood everything, but yay for more yuri.

Same. Not really sure what the drama is.

Guys how can you say it's sailed? We're still not sure. The kiss was meh
The more I read Citrus and the more I'm disappointed

Am I the only one finding the dialogue in this chapter rather odd?

Which part?

If you mean the scene on the bridge I can say that yes, it’s translated a bit oddly. But even in Japanese, the phrasing was a bit weird cuz of the way Harumin usually speaks.

So here’s my take:

“You might be someone who must never screw up”
“But if you’re going to hide that”
“Then no one is going to notice when you’re fed up with it all”
“So learn to love “that part of yourself” as well”

This is the closest I could get without breaking the momentum of that scene...

Well some long time ago some people thought that Harumin was "too good" for Matsuri so maybe they're salty, but that's just my wild guess...
I'm hoping they develop this relationship carefully because that, to me it would be like Citrus 2 hehehe, a complete new dynamic.

@Erogequeen thanks for your take on that scene, it helps, I don't think the original translation was wrong, it was just a hard subject and I'm not a native English speaker so some stuff can be taken too literally or vice versa.

HARUMATSU FINALLYYYYYYY!!!! I CAN DIE HAPPY NOW!!!!

Well, I still want a full fleshed out romance arc for harumin x matsuri.... so I hope they get more of a consistent storyline after this :'0

Are you ready for 10 chapters of kiss angst?

Damn, I was so impatient I preordered and downloaded the kindle magazine exactly at 12midnight 18th Nov. When the room scene happened I was like.... oh well that’s probably the closest we’ll get to MatsuHaru this time I guess. Bridge scene at the “Senpai!” Right before I flipped the page I was thinking “nah Matsuri’s prolly only called her to stop her to tell her something no way—flips page— HOLY SHIIIIIIIIT” And now I’m back to fight me irl with anyone who’s willing argue against this ship.

It’s been a LONG TIME COMING. The stage for HaruMatsu has been set since Vol 3 special in the original story. They were always eventually gonna get together it’s just how fast or slow... and I am REALLY GLAD that Saburouta took her time with this.

And yes that special in Vol3 with Matsuri meeting Harumin is 100% cannon. Not just a random omake added. At the end of Chapter 13 when Harumin has flashbacks before she grabs her phone and calls Yuzu, the square bubbles have been SEVERELY MISTRANSLATED and it's actually word for word from what Matsuri says to Harumin in Vol 3 special.

Rather than chapter 13, you mean here?

Yeah, it's not very clear that it's a flashback here

Eroge went into detail about that a few pages ago, showing that the text is the same in the Japanese versions of the two chapters.

In 30th June the last few panels where Harumin remembers Matsuri saying "all prez does is magically solve things from afar..." is actually a mistranslation. This scene is Harumin remembering Matsuri's words in that scene from June 21st "People who've only used magic to heal from a distance..." and is actually a jab at Harumin, and while it's not the whole reason, it ends up being one of the reasons it propelled her to be the one to visit Matsuri instead of leaving it to Yuzu and sitting on the sidelines as usual.

In other words, the first time Harumin has decided of her own will to get involved in something
'troublesome and Matsuri related'.

June 30th

From June 21st Scene

June 30th:

Citrus Vol 3 Special

I have to admit I find it strange to find people in a yuri focused site be against more official gay girls in a manga.

I know everyone has their own tastes for the yuri genre, but I agree. I've read similar criticisms of some of Ratana Satis' works - I personally like escaping to a lovely world stuffed with official gay girls.

I'm still think that's one of the many flow of Lily Love 2 tho

like seriously do you think anyone cares about the plot at this point? harumastu is finally canon LOL

Like i said, Saburouta throwing HaruMatsu so those who demand it are happy and stop bothering with it. I don't really know how i feel about his kind of comment.

More yuri is always good.

I agree, all extras included in main and spinoff are canon.
I've been waiting for so long to see Harumatsu on action and I'm so glad it's slowly sailing. I know some fans don't like Matsuri and that Harumin deserves better but Harumin is still the most mature character and knows Matsuri the most. So Harumatsu banzai!

You would think so right? But more fans like Matsuri more than Harumin. Lol
(At least the fans I know and the Japanese fandom)

To me I think Matsuri is the most mature character in the series, she portrays herself as the immature imouto character, but Matsuri is also the most jaded character, unlike the others she’s seen the darkest and most depraved of human desires from her ‘part-time job’. Not to forget she has been taking care of Inori practically since he was born, a responsible older sister.

On the other hand, Harumin just doesn’t want to get involved in anything troublesome that will disrupt her peaceful life. But recently she can’t help but be concerned about Matsuri*

Thanks for making the effort to clarify the text--and thanks for all your work.

Always has been. She was probably the most reasonable character in the main serie and ironically always criticize the bad decisions and poiting the absurdity like Mei keeping the ring even though she know about her fiancé. that's why she always has been my favorite.

Random question but why do you guys think Matsuri is always so formal with Harumi ? She has never called her by her frst name unlike her other senpais. I kind of like it cos it means their bond is special.
I wonder if she will call her Harumi anytime soon

More because all the weird tension between those two. Neither of them tends to act all that "natural" around each other.

It's for sure not a pairing I care for. Just feels like "hey, we need another pairing, let's just force these two togther because they spent some time together."
